What's the Oldest Age You Want in Life?

Personally, I don't want to grow very old in life because firstly, I don't want to burden my loved-ones of taking care of me and spending huge amount of money for my health; secondly, I don't want to be put in a home-for-the-elderly because I presume it's very lonely there with those strangers you're with for the rest of your remaining life.
I just prayed for an age like 60-65 and if God gives it to me, it surely is a huge bonus. How about you, you want to live much longer than 65?

Hello! I have enjoyed my life fully and completed all responsibilities of life.Now I am as free as a bird.I can die peacefully.But no,it is perhaps not the decree of God.Perhaps He wants me to live some more years,may be to do some thing great by me.Now I am seventy years old and what I feel I will live for another ten years more.If that be true I will definitely complete at least 100 years.thanx.

Well, I think living to 70+ is pretty good. You'll pretty much have lived a full life by then, I should think. Being put into a home is quite sad, so I'm with you on that one. Also, for living for so long, you get to see all your friends and loved ones pass away before you. So I don't think living too long is such a good thing either.

ejjcaamolr oh my you have a sad outlook, we older people are living much longer and are more healthy than ever before. why should we give up the ghost at sixty when we are healthy
and happy at 82. I intend to live another ten years myself.
i am not going into a nursing home and I am not senile.I am
happy being my age and am going to go on for awhile enjoying
life. I just retired at age 80. why not keep on doing the things
you enjoy no matter how old you are?
